Focus on level of rigor - Webb's DoK,
Goal #2 Administer a system of assessments that will provide students, teachers, and administrators with the data to identify students' levels of performance and progress with regard to the PA Common Core aligned PSSAs and Keystone Exam modules and reporting categories.
CASD Assessment System - diagnostic, benchmark, formative, & summative forms of assessments
